Christ as the Man of Sorrows 1493

Albrecht Dürer's "Christ as the Man of Sorrows" (1493), a poignant depiction of Christ's suffering, showcases the artist's mastery of realism and detail. The painting depicts Christ with a crown of thorns, his body riddled with wounds, and a sorrowful expression as he rests his head on his hand. The use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and emphasizes the physical and emotional torment experienced by Christ. This work exemplifies Dürer's skill in representing both human suffering and the profound religious themes of the era. It is currently housed in the Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe in Germany.
